Illustrations

I have a passion for rendering what my mind’s eye perceives so others can see what I see. The ability to create and reshape reality, take abstractions from my head and put them down on paper, form expressions that others could read and interpret across language barriers was intoxicating. It is a form of visual language that I find empowering and comes as naturally to me as breathing.

“Saturday Evening Burgers” is a nod to old Saturday Evening Post illustrations. Benny Hammond feeds a hungry but reticent Eleven burgers. Benny was my favorite and I wasn’t satisfied with his brief appearance so I created this mixed media painting to ease my pain, haha!
